Label-Web™ is a high-quality text placement engine that labels web-based maps on the fly in a GeoMedia WebMap 6.0 environment.

Web maps need to be re-labeled quickly each time the user pans or zooms, and at the same time, need to provide aesthetic and informative cartographic output. 

Label-Web places text in accordance with cartographic rules and conventions, avoids text-to-text and text-to-feature overlap (unless expressly allowed), and ensures unambiguous text-to-feature association. Most importantly, it achieves aesthetic, high-quality label placement so as to enhance rapid visual comprehension, while maintaining high performance suitable for interactive display over the Internet. 

Label-Web can be easily integrated into a server-side script by adding a few lines of code to include the Label-Web application and initiate the text placement. The end result is always an aesthetically labeled high-quality map.
